I feel your pain. If we do climb our strategy likely involved flipping our frame off of the floor to give us a fairly long reach. Now I'm about 95% certain that design is illegal, I will have to do the math. It may be adaptable by rotating our frame relative to our climbing mechanism but it will almost certainly put our CG in an undesirable location.

This is a disappointing ruling from the GDC. Major changes like this shouldn't be necessary to the size restrictions, which are some of the most crucial rules teams have to design around. Coming in week 2 as teams are finishing prototypes and some have begun ordering parts is the real kicker.
